What happened: Broncos quarterback Bo Nix underwent an additional ankle procedure to clean out bone spurs and is on track to be ready for training camp, per Adam Schefter, with the story from Jeff Legwold. Nix has since returned to practice and said he feels 'as good as new.' He added he could go full-go now if the team wanted him to.
Why it matters: The procedure keeps Denver's starter on schedule for the 2026 season after a winter of ankle maintenance. Nix's return to practice signals the offseason cleanup did not set back his timeline, an important marker for a quarterback the franchise is building around.
By the numbers: Nix's offseason ankle timeline: a scheduled re-check on April 25, optimism for mandatory minicamp participation on June 4, and a return to practice on June 17 following this additional bone-spur procedure.
What to watch: Watch whether Nix is cleared full-go when training camp opens and how the ankle holds up under a full practice workload.
